Lots of good stuff here. I love the CAP options and player graphics, obviously.

Ironically though, what stood out to me quite a bit graphically (and, admittedly, it might seem a little thing on it's own) is the cleats. It's not just the new brands (hurray NB!) but they all just look so much more like real cleats. There seems to be more texture depth and difference.

It's similar to the stitching on the hats now...everything just stands out as more defined as their own materials. I guess this is PBR now being better applied to players as well? Whatever the case, things are starting to look very good.

My only real question is how carried over CAPS from 16 will be impacted. Hopefully they aren't simply imported as is and can benefit from these changes without being completely altered. If not, I guess it'll be time for me to completely rework them, since the old models look especially dated now.
I'm just guessing here (kind of wish ramone or someone could give us an answer), but Ramone did say in the interview they removed those 17 heads we have now and replaced them with the new 49. Judging by that everything will have to be redone from scratch. I hope I'm wrong here, but as of now that's what it looks like.

Players obviously have more facial expressions now. When they show Robinson Cano's face in the editor you can see all the facial movements he's making.

I thought I might sit out MLB 17 because I wasn't sure I could justify the money... No way in heck I'm sitting out now. I'll scrape the funds together.

I would actually like that. Now you have to change all three (cap, jersey, pants) if you want the (for example) matching throwback home uniform set.

I see they added a "catcher style" in the personality section.

Tnixen I was watching the scorebug especially close and noticed that the "The Show 17" banner never popped up once on top

That's probably just the mix and match feature that's already in the game. They did list uniform sets as an item for a deep dive so there has to be some change right?
